The Russian president, Vladimir Putinhas ordered the Armed Forces to carry out “shortly” military maneuvers with tactical nuclear weapons due to “threats” from the West, as reported this Monday by the Russian Ministry of Defense.
These missile exercises, in which both aviation and the Navy will participate, will be carried out by the forces of the Southern Military District, which borders Ukraine.
The Russian Army intends to “unconditionally guarantee the territorial integrity and sovereignty of the Russian State in response to provocative statements and threats made by certain Western leaders against the Russian Federation.”
In this regard, the Kremlin spokesman, Dmitri Peskov, assured today at a press conference that The exercises are a response to the statements of the French presidentEmmanuel Macron.
“They spoke about the willingness and even intention to send military contingents to Ukraine, that is, to put NATO soldiers against the Russian military. This is a new spiral of escalation of tension. It is unprecedented and requires a special attention and special measures,” he said.
In statements to The EconomistMacron insisted again a few days ago that he does not rule out sending NATO troops to Ukrainian territory.
